Deck Construction & Repair in Hodgkins, IL | C & P Installations

We start by assessing the existing structure for safety and soundness. If a full replacement is needed, we carefully remove the old deck, including footings that may have shifted from freeze-thaw cycles common in Hodgkins. We then install a new foundation, framing, and decking using materials suited for our local weather. We handle all permitting and final cleanup, so your new deck is ready to enjoy.

Separation often happens when moisture gets into joints and freezes, pushing components apart. We inspect the entire deck for loose connections, rotted wood, or corroded fasteners. Our repairs include replacing damaged boards, tightening joist hangers, and adding structural screws where nails have failed. We also treat the area to prevent future moisture intrusion, specifically for the freeze-thaw cycles we experience in Hodgkins.

Yes. The same freezing conditions that split fence rails also affect decks. We use galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and install deck boards with proper gaps so water drains freely. We also set posts on concrete footings that extend below the frost line, preventing the heaving that pulls rails apart. This technique is essential for Hodgkins residents who want their decks to last through Illinois winters.
